Flea markets and antique fairs in Grand Est on September 26-27, 2026: the Puces de Metz, France's second-largest regular flea market since 1978, the Foire Saint-Michel in Fumay and the Grande Foire à la Brocante in Saint-Amand-sur-Fion.
The weekend opens in Metz. The sale falls on September 26, 2026. The Puces de Metz, France's second-largest regular flea market, have held their weekly sale since 1978, alongside the Foire Saint-Michel in Fumay, the Grande Foire à la Brocante in Saint-Amand-sur-Fion and the Roppenheim Kirb.
The Puces de Metz, France's Second-Largest Flea Market
On Rue de la Grange aux Bois, in Metz, a hangar at the Metz Métropole exhibition grounds turns into a vast flea market every Saturday morning, from March to December. The Puces de Metz have been held since 1978.
This weekend, the sale falls on September 26, just like every Saturday of the season.
More than 150 professional vendors set up week after week, and over 150,000 visitors browse the stalls every year.
A figure that ranks Metz as France's second-largest regular flea market, right behind Saint-Ouen.
The hangar keeps vendors and visitors sheltered, whatever the Saturday weather brings.
The Rest of the Weekend
In Alsace, three more sales fill the weekend. In Pfulgriesheim, the Harmonie Concordia flea market runs alongside the Messti, the village's traditional patronal festival, with more than 250 vendors along 2,000 linear meters of stalls; the local music society has organized the market since 1990. In Souffelweyersheim, in Greater Strasbourg, the OMALT's autumn flea market brings hundreds of vendors selling old furniture, clothing, toys, books and knick-knacks to the streets of the town center. Further north, the Roppenheim Kirb mixes a patronal festival with a flea market over two days, in a village known for its Style Outlets mall.
Two traditional big fairs share the same Sunday. In the Marne, the 33rd Grande Foire à la Brocante of Saint-Amand-sur-Fion gathers 200 to 300 vendors in the Fion valley, organized by the Foyer Rural on the last Sunday of September: an autumn fixture of reference in the department. In the Ardennes, the Foire Saint-Michel of Fumay fills the Place du Baty, in this former slate-mining town, for its annual late-September gathering. Stallholders, fairground rides and live music round out the fair, with food on site.
In Moselle, the Dabo flea market spreads more than 600 linear meters of stalls across the Espace Léon IX and outdoors, at the foot of the village's famous rock and its Saint-Léon chapel, in this mountain village of 2,600 residents; drinks and light meals are served on site. In Saint-Max, near Nancy, the Geek Collector holds its first edition, with video games, figurines, trading cards, manga, retro toys and pop-culture memorabilia, plus a free retro-gaming space, entry at three euros.
Two monthly markets round out the lineup. In Pagny-sur-Meuse, about forty professional vendors set up on Place du 28 Juillet, from 8am to 6pm, free entry. In Saint-Amarin, deep in the Alsace Vosges, the antique dealers' market brings together around 50 professional vendors at the Complexe culturel Le CAP, in the Saint-Amarin valley.
